1. A method of scanning a dataform comprising a barcode symbol and a security material configured to be activated by irradiation at one or more predetermined activation wavelengths, and wherein the barcode symbol is configured to be read (i) before the security material activated and (ii) while the security material activated, the method comprising:
receiving light from the dataform during a time period;
capturing at least one image from the received light;
analyzing one of the at least one image to decode data from the barcode symbol;
analyzing one of the at least one image to detect emission light from the security material within the received light;
associating a characteristic of the dataform with the detected emission light; and
outputting the associated characteristic with the decoded data.
